The majority of roles on this page centre on taking ML research from prototype to production: designing models, running experiments, and working alongside engineering teams to ship customer-facing systems. Several postings emphasise natural language processing, and computer vision appears across multiple summaries, including vision-language models for document and video understanding.
The LlamaIndex role focuses on training and fine-tuning vision-language models with attention to benchmarking and synthetic data. The Descript role builds multimodal AI editing features and asks for publications or shipped production work. At the senior end, the Braze Staff Applied Scientist leads an entire ML team's technical direction. More specialist work includes the Amazon Navigation role covering robotic planning and reinforcement learning, and the Amazon quantum computing role designing superconducting circuits. Mentoring junior staff appears in more than one summary.
Skills counts reflect mentions in posting descriptions across all postings on this page, not formal requirements. Python and PhD credentials appear in most postings; PyTorch and model evaluation are mentioned in roughly half. Java and C++ appear at a similar frequency, likely concentrated in the Amazon postings. Computer vision, a publication track record, and agent-based methods each appear in a meaningful minority. The sample is small, so these patterns may not hold across a wider set.
The employers' own advertised ranges, for individual roles at different levels — not an average and not a market rate.
Most postings on this page are listed as onsite, making that the clear default for this role family in this snapshot. A small number are hybrid, and only one is listed as remote. No postings have an unknown work mode, so the picture is unusually complete, though candidates should confirm current arrangements directly with each employer, as advertised modes can change. The single remote posting and the handful of hybrid roles are worth identifying individually in the listings above if flexible working is a priority.
